I listened to the graphic audio on Spotify which is the only way I'll go through this series. The graphic audio is incredible. It's a full cast with music and sound effects. The only downside is I have no idea what chapter I'm on. It feels like an old-timey radio show but modern.

When I started this book I was in such a horrible reading slump for about 2 months and a half. I finished this and I felt like I was cured from this curse and I feel myself again going from book to book and enjoying them.

I’ve miss reading a GOOD book, a fantasy book that made me forget about everything else and I didn’t want to put down. This is definitely a 4 ⭐ for my taste.

This series has been on my TBR since 2018 and it’s so famous that of course I already know a couple of things that will happen but it didn’t bother me at all, I still enjoyed it a lot.

I was deciding between the normal audiobook or the graphic one, but at the end I chose the one read by just one narrator because I thought it was a better choice as a first time reader of this series and I’m glad I did. I liked her voice.

One funny thing and maybe the most surprising to me is how their names are pronounced. I thought Feyre was read like “faerie” but it’s “Fair-ah” and I thought Rhysand was like “rice-and” but it’s “Riz-sand” lol at least all the other names are pronounced the same way they’re written.

I know everyone hates Tamlin by the end of the trilogy, but at least for this book I allowed myself to like him since he hasn’t done anything wrong yet and I do like him.

Feyre’s sisters were a piece of work in the beginning, but I’m really intrigued to see how their relationship will develop, I hope it improves and they become closer.

I was suspicious of everything and everyone all the time because WHO gives you such comforts after you just killed their friend? But then SJM dropped all the information in one chapter and I got it. But it did make me nervous how Feyre would be suspicious for 5 seconds and then forget about it, but poor girl was just getting out of survival mode and breaking down her walls with all the comfort so I can’t blame her that much.

I can actually understand Amarantha’s hatred for humans (justified ngl), but it’s funny to me how she treats faeries and specially the Spring Court and Tamlin that way just because he would not f*ck her 💀 so she has Rhysand literally known as his wh*re lmao

Once again, the tiny little female human saving the world, what I did not expect was for her to
actually DIE and then have the 7 High Lords bringing her back to life as a High Fae!? like that was crazy.
But my girl deserved it after everything she did for these people.

Okay, this book was weak sauce. I want to say that I was told this was fairy smut, but it’s not; it’s romance with a fantasy element and that’s okay, but sheesh these characters are so unlikable. 

Having already read the second in the series, I’m just going to say I’m glad I proceeded with it. Everything is muuuuch better.
